Yesterday exhaustion set in, after my trip to the doctor, the day before. Except for a few short breaks for food and personal functions, I slept around the clock. My antibiotics will probably come today. I’m current with replies. I expect to be down for at least a couple more days.

Jig Zone Puzzle:

Today’s took me 3:37 (average 5:13). To do it, click here. How did you do?

I have no doubt that the Republican Ministry of Propaganda was merely sugar coating the Republican Party’s plan for all American workers.

From NY Times: More than 100,000 people who signed an online petition calling on the Obama administration to allow Texas to secede from the United States and create an independent government received an official 476-word response from the White House last week.

The short answer was no.

But the response — in which a White House official said the founding fathers established the United States as a “perpetual union” — hardly discouraged the Texas secession movement, which has been simmering for decades but gained momentum after the re-election of President Obama.

There is clearly an equitable solution to this dilemma. Simply encourage these dissatisfied Republicans to self deport.

From The New Yorker: Responding to reports that President Obama is considering signing as many as nineteen executive orders on gun control, Republicans in Congress unleashed a blistering attack on him today, accusing Mr. Obama of “cynically and systematically using his position as President to lead the country.”

Spearheading the offensive was Rep. Steve Stockman (R-Texas), who charged the President with the “wanton exploitation of powers that are legally granted to him under the U.S. Constitution.”

I've been in the hospital again and had a great risk of losing my left leg due to blood clots again. The doctors don't understand why I'm getting them. My blood work is all super. So after 3 surgeries and 9 days, I am home with a fully intact leg with great blood flow. I pray it stays that way.

Well at least you know now what the issue is. I have never had pneumonia before but I did get the shot about 5 years ago and was told I was good for 10 years. Don't want pneumonia though. For that matter, don't want the flu either. Take your anti-biotics, drink lots of water until you feel like you can pee like a race horse, stay warm, rest and say your mantra "size 9s, size 9s, size 9s, size 9s, size 9s, size 9s,size 9s, size 9s, size 9s…"

Puzzle — 3:33 I guess I have been critter crunched, and in the deep end of the ocean! Will we all be Patty-monstered?

MoveOn — Gutfeld looks like he has the IQ of a pickle! I know, the pickle police are coming after me. If he thinks that sweatshops are so good, why don't we arrange a vacation stay for him at the Sweatshop Hilton, all expenses paid by him!

NY Times — There is clearly an equitable solution to this dilemma. Simply encourage these dissatisfied Republicans to self deport. — But they may NOT self deport to Canada!!!!!

I was so happy to find this blog site. TomCat I have been sending you letters on Care2, then something finally reminded me I might reach you here. I am and have been so concerned about your health and well being. Please give an update on how you are doing. I can reasonably speak for all of your friends at Care2 by say, "We miss you, we are worried and concerned".

I used to be a strong Kucinich supporter, until he revealed that he is just as big a wing-nut as a Teabagger. In the 2004 Presidential election campaign, he was asked who he might choose as his VP running mate. His choice was that horrid gnome, Ron Paul. I have always apprecuated Dennis' stands on progressive issues, but after that chioce, I trust him so little that I supported Marcy Kaptur, when Republicans gerrymandered them into the same district.

My only disagreement is that, instead of either [1] or [2], both/and is more likely.
